Almost all of them originally came from Swiss army stocks, where they were not listed as Mercedes, but under the Puch brand.
In addition to the standard versions, a camper conversion and some restomods, there is also a special custom body on offer. It is a rare ambulance vehicle from stocks of the Federal Department of Defense, Civil Protection and Sport.
Only 4500 kilometers on the speedometer
The Puch 290 GD ambulance with first registration 07/1994 is despite its age in good and original condition. The vehicle painted in the civilian color Arctic White has only 4500 kilometers on the speedometer.
G-Classes with "suitcases" are often converted into off-road campers. Such a vehicle can also be found in the offer. It was built on the basis of a military G with hardtop.
Air conditioning front and rear
For 79,900 euros, the buyer gets a piece of contemporary history with the ambulance vehicle. The spacious body still contains the original racks for the stretchers and a ventilation system.
To reduce the strain on patients and staff on hot days, the ambulance is air-conditioned at the front and rear. More in the gallery.
5-speed manual transmission and 95 hp
The vehicle is powered by a 95 hp 5-cylinder diesel engine with a maximum torque of 192 Nm. This power is managed via a 5-speed manual transmission.
Naturally, a G feels most at home off-road. The vehicle is equipped with selectable four-wheel drive with reduction and differential locks on the front and rear axles. In the event of a flat tire, a spare wheel is also available on the roof rack.
